Equipment
Here are some of the radio-related toys I've been playing with
Alfa AWUS036ACH
- This has the right chipset for playing in the 12.5cm / 6cm bands
Baofeng UV-S9PLUS
- Who even knows what this is? It's not even a real
Baofeng
.
Diamond CX210
- Sometimes you gotta share an antenna
Diamond MR77
- Sometimes you want to take your stuff with you on the road
Diamond X-50N-ACS
- Radios are much less fun without a decent antenna
HackRF One
- If you need an SDR that can Tx just a smidge
Kenwood TM-V71A
- This is my main 2m / 70cm rig. Plenty of grunt for when my license lets me use more Tx power
Malahit DSP 2
- A great portable all-in-one SDR setup. I got the real one from Georgiy RX9CIM to support the developer instead of the copycats
MFJ-945E
- Antenna tuner that goes all the way up to the 6M band
MFJ-269D
- Antenna analyser that goes all the way up to UHF
Panasonic RF-3100
- My first ever radio! My Dad bought it for me brand new in 1984 and I've been hooked since.
Quansheng UV K5
- Bit of a
hackable
Baofeng replacement with an
active
dev
community
.
RadiaCode-101
- The fun doesn't have to stop at MHz ... this thing dials it up to YHz
Retevis RT3S
- Something to play with DMR
RTL-SDR V3
- I actually have several of these hooked up to Raspberry Pis doing various things
SDRPlay RSPdx
- An upgrade for my
OpenWebRX+
site
SignaLink USB
- The interface from my Kenwood to my computer and gateway to digital modes
Sola Electric 63-26-625-00
- Basically a
constant voltage transformer
which provides galvanically isolated and well regulated clean power to the shack
Yaesu VX-7R
- 5W on 50/144/430 makes this incredibly versatile as an EDC radio
Yaesu VX-8GR
- A newer iteration of the VX series with built-in GPS and many APRS features.
Uniden Bearcat BC100XLT
- My first scanner. Good for some light mischief back in the 80s/90s.
